Thank you for responding to my post. I have tried two different anti-convulsants. The last that I tried was lamictal in combination with high dose Effexor. I tried another in combination with an SSRI but I can't remember what it was, I would have to ask my doctor to check the records. I do remember that I did not respond to either mood stabilizer. The side effects in both cases included breaks in my train of thought, kind of like the train would jump the track, so to speak. I would be thinking about something and all of the sudden I would be wondering, “where in the hell was I, what was I just thinking.” Right now I am trying Neurontin. I've only been on that for about a week. Not sure what to think of it yet.
Base on what you and JohnL have said, I'll probably try adrafinil and amisulpride, seperatly first then together if they both work out. I'm not sure if I will continue the neurontin during my little experiment.
